Table of Contents

" 'Get to know your sewing machine' books are a dime a dozen, but few provide the extensive coverage of sewing machine accessories needed by both beginning and experienced sewers. Gardiner and Knight describe the wide variety of sewing machine feet in detail, and photos of each foot allow for easy identification: excellent." ---Library Jounal, Best Fiber Crafts Books 2011
